Mastering the move from a single sport to Triathlon
<p>In this episode we meet two members who've made the move from a single sport to the three disciplines of triathlon - and they love it!</p><p>Alex Heron's story is remarkable. He was a runner but at 61 started to get niggling injuries. And he fell in to triathlon. Alex tells us about coming face to face with the local tri club in a farmers lake...and how he unexpectedly won his first competitive triathlon despite having a bike with mudguards and and a bell.</p><p>He's now in his mid 70's and training for his first ironman. And he believes, with a bit of luck, anyone can have a crack at it.</p><p>Kate Hutchinson made the bright lights of a Commonwealth Games swimming final at Delhi in 2010 wearing the kit of Team England. She gave up on sport after years of punishing training in the pool. But 2 years ago she was lured towards triathlon and is back representing GB at age group level.</p><p>We've also got some tips on how to get your mojo back if you've lost it and we hear how presenter Daniel 'Triathlon Dan' Ward smashed out a PB in a half ironman.</p><p>This podcast is brought to you by British Triathlon and is presented by Mark Shardlow and Daniel Ward.
